King Manfred & Queen Morag

First King and Queen of An Tir
Jan. 16, 1982 - July 10, 1982

King Manfred I and Queen Morag I at the final rounds of the second Crown Tourney of An Tir, May 15, AS XVII/1982.

From left to right: Maia, Hlutwige Wolfkiller, Catriona of Rathcrogan, (behind throne), His Majesty King Manfred, Andre Lessard (standing), Catherine Winifred of Tor Bitterroot (kneeling), Moira ni Tabor (behind throne), Her Majesty Queen Morag, Melissa Kendal of Westmoreland (standing), and Rhiannon ye Curious.

The finalists were Torgul Steingrimsson and Aweiodian aef Crowansdale. The tourney was eventually won by Sir Torgul for Maia, and she was duly invested as Princess of An Tir with him. However, at a later date Angharad Severn o Glamorgen (now Angharad Gwendraeth o Fynydd Blaena) was invested as Princess of An Tir and became Queen Angharad I.

Her Excellency, Countess Morag, had this to say about the picture:
I remember that day so well. And I'm always happy to see pictures of myself in what was my very most favorite costume.

Note that I'm wearing the official crown of An Tir while Manfred is wearing his personal crown. I still remember people asking disappointedly what became of those big silver ones after we stepped off.
